Caribbean, by James A. Michener, is $2.99 at Kindle US. I remember reading and really enjoying this on a plane trip to (of course) the Caribbean, although a lot of it was depressing, since a lot of the history of the Caribbean isn't very pretty, especially for the indigenous peoples. I also remember liking the notes in which Michener clarifies who/what was historical, and who/what was fictional. This was the first book that I remember reading that had historical notes (even though they are pretty brief), and now I get really irritated when I read a historical novel that doesn't have them.

Anyway, I've been watching for Caribbean to go on sale for a long time, so I'm really happy to see this price drop.

Spoiler:

In this acclaimed classic novel, James A. Michener sweeps readers off to the Caribbean, bringing to life the eternal allure and tumultuous history of this glittering string of islands. From the 1310 conquest of the Arawaks by cannibals to the decline of the Mayan empire, from Columbus’s arrival to buccaneer Henry Morgan’s notorious reign, from the bloody slave revolt on Haiti to the rise of Cuba’s Fidel Castro, Caribbean packs seven hundred dramatic years into a tale teeming with revolution and romance, authentic characters and thunderous destinies. Through absorbing, magnificent prose, Michener captures the essence of the islands in all of their awe-inspiring scope and wonder.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii.
